“The transition of these active product lines to ADTRAN sharpens both companies’ focus to benefit our customers and the cable industry as a whole,” said Jim Hughes, CommScope’s vice president of North American MSO sales. “As a global leader in fiber optics for wired and wireless networks, CommScope will continue providing passive PON solutions to the MSO and service provider market, including its optical closures, optical terminals and drops, and other passive accessories, along with its robust portfolio of innovative fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) offerings. CommScope has a strong commitment to helping MSO and service providers evolve their networks. We believe ADTRAN’s acquisition of these active fiber product lines will provide existing customers and prospects with the R&D, professional services and customer support structure they need as they move their broadband networks forward.”
